A couple weeks ago, I talked about Babbler for Facebook, the best Facebook for Android app available. Last night, there was a huge update.
New Look
The first thing I noticed when opening Babbler was the new look to the tabs. See for yourself:
Doesn’t the shot on the right look better? I sure think so!
Speech To Text
Take a look again at the new UI, and you’ll see the mic button. That’s right, Babbler lets you update your status via speech. Just tap the button, and speak into your phone’s mic, just like when you do a Google Voice Search.
New Inbox
Babbler has updated the look of the inbox as well. They’ve separated messages from pokes. The only concern is that clicking on either link opens the browser. The dev says that he’s looking into a way to make the inbox accessible in the application.
Widget
For those of us who have paid for the full version, we now get a home page widget. It shows the latest feed posts, and with one tap, you can comment on posts.
Babbler keeps updating, and every update looks better. Look for more contact information on profiles and a native inbox.
If you’re a Babbler user, tell me what you think. If you’re not, try the full version. You have 24 hours to get a full refund, so there’s nothing to lose.
Update: This morning (July 14th), Babbler pushed another update, removing the “Babbler” title bar and freeing up a few pixels along the top. Nice!
